What is animal hoarding?
Animal hoarding means keeping more animals than a person can care for well, often without seeing that the animals are suffering. Hoarding is a recognized mental health condition, and it is not a character flaw. It needs both animal and human support.

With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.
What health risks come from animal waste in a home?
Urine and feces release ammonia, which irritates the eyes and lungs. Waste can carry bacteria and parasites, and some diseases pass between animals and people. Fleas, ticks, rodents, dust and mold add to the problem. Anyone who feels unwell after time in the home should see a doctor.
What is involved in cleaning a home after animal hoarding?
Crews bag waste and soiled bedding, remove soaked flooring and drywall, scrub and disinfect, and treat odor at the source. They wear protective suits and respiratory protection. A final inspection confirms that each room is ready for repairs.
